vrOS v1.4.0 Patch Notes — Keybind Changes

26 May 2026Developer post

Enhancements

Logo button gestures are now configurable per dashboard form factor. The full-size dash and the compact dash have independent single-click, double-click, and long-hold bindings. New defaults: single click swaps form factor, double click cycles overlay layout (full dash) or toggles compact layout lock (compact dash), and long-hold refreshes overlay titles + media sources. The Help dialog, welcome modal, and Overlays tab gesture hints now read your actual bindings, so they stay in sync if you rebind.
New "Refresh Titles + Media Sources" and "Refresh Media Player Sources" gesture actions. The media refresh nudges the SMTC poll loop so newly-opened media players (Spotify, Tidal, browser tabs) appear in the media overlay immediately instead of waiting for the next poll tick.

WASAPI audio render and capture threads are now elevated to MMCSS "Pro Audio" scheduling. Long VR sessions could previously log "render pending exceeded cap — dropping oldest audio" warnings when UI, overlay submission, or GPU capture saturated CPU and stalled the audio scheduler past 400ms. Threads now run at Time Critical priority and revert cleanly on shutdown or device reconnect.
